This is the truth, quickened us together with Christ. Everything that the Lord Jesus Christ experienced on Calvary was for you. And you can identify with it.
Take a little time to experience the love of God. You don’t experience God’s love by dashing into the laundry list of things and say, “God do this and this and this and this, amen.”
And although you may be a professing Christian and have given yourself to Christ in faith, maybe some time ago yet just this minute you’re aware of areas in your life that are weak and that are feeble and those areas in which you fail.
As born-again believers, we have been resurrected and made alive, having been dead in trespasses and sin. If you’re not obeying God, you’re obeying someone else.
You don’t have to pray through anybody else. You come in the name of the Lord Jesus, in the enablement of the indwelling Holy Spirit and you are immediately there for in the presence of the triune God, accepted in the beloved one.
What I am raising is that the power of Christ’s resurrection is power to share the very presence and power of the Lord Jesus Christ to needy, hungry lives.
What is the power of his resurrection? Well, the first thing is it makes you alive. You’re spiritually dead until you’re born again, spiritually dead in trespasses and sins.
There is principality and there is power and there is might and there is dominion and there is the precedence of one name over another, every name that is named but the Lord Jesus tops it all.
When you get down to pray, are you getting through to God? Is your heart open to the blessed indwelling Holy Spirit so that He can teach you what God actually wants to do with your life?
